Maverix is a leadership program serving LGBTQ2SIA+* students in The School of Business. LGBTQ2SIA+ students face obstacles and experiences unique to their community, which many may never have been prepared for or even informed about until they come face to face with them. The Maverix program's two main areas of focus are:
- To provide education, resources, and community building for our students during their time in the business program with hopes that they will be able to utilize them long after they have left our program.
- In respect to these unique obstacles and experiences the Maverix program also aims to provide resources and education to the broader SB community in hopes to create new relationships and strengthen those already formed.
*Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Two-Spirit, Intersex, Asexual, and all other sexual orientations and genders not encompassed in this acronym. Our language is always changing.
